SHARED DAILY LENR DISCOVERIES-Dec 4, 2014

Today's Motto: "Man knows much more than
he understands".

(Alfred Adler)

Not nice at all, actually a perfidious and perverse idea, especially dangerous in the case of LENR where we don't understand many things, where dissent dominates but we fake certainties and deny VUCA. I would not like if this saying would be applied to me.

There exists research
for solutions as opposed to research for research. We, in LENR must focus fanatically on solutions- we are in big delay.

Legendary Events in the History of Cold Fusion/LENR.Russ George's essay: http://atom-ecology.russgeorge.net/2014/12/02/fleischmann-singularity/published yesterday here too, has reminded me about some very rare, very special events in the history of Cold Fusion/LENR; the first is this cube of palladium, melted and evaporated in part.Then Mizuno's unquenchable great cathode described in the preface of his book:http://www.infinite-energy.com/iemagazine/issue17/bookreview_mizuno.htmlwas also a remarkable event.Piantelli also had one experiment run out of control- that led to the discovery that deuterium is an inhibitor for his process- it is described in a paper by Bill Collis "Italian Hot Potato Cold fusion" published in the Cold Fusion Magazine- the precursor of Infinite Energy- founded by Gene Mallove.I hope Jed Rothwell will tell more about the Patterson Cell that gave 1kW- he witnessed the event, I still remember how excited was poor Chris Tinsley phoning me about that event.Then there is the famous cathode 64 of Energetics (Israel); a miracle cathode made by Vittorio Violante, the greatest expert in Pd metallurgy and morphology, Bill Gates' partner in discussions about LENR. I have discussed about it in this essay with a dubious title: http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2014/09/the-death-of-wet-pdd-was-highly.htmlNow all these events have something in common: they cannot be explained, and cannot be repeated. They smell of miracle- it happens that yesterday in a message from a witness of one of these mysteries I learned that only the Almighty can knowwhat happened. I do not believe in occult phenomena especially not in science and technology and I think my air poisoning hypothesis could be a part of explanation.Improbable events happen in industry, mainly as deadly serious accidents.Black Raptors not Swans.Our very creative friend Axil thinks there could be a rational explanation or thepalladium cube too...here it is:

The palladium melted.
Therefore, the temperature reached at least 1554C. Even more impressive, part
of the palladium cube vaporized. The temperature reached more than 3000C. In
addition, a hole was excavated in the concrete floor. The sand must have been
vaporized. That means that the silicon vaporized at a temperature of 3265C.
This vaporization temperature is greater than the melting point(1554C) of
palladium and the vaporization point of palladium(3000C). Since only a part of
the palladium(1CC) was vaporized, this tells me that the reaction was carried
primarily in the silicon within the concrete since most of the mass loss was in
the concrete. Also, the iron rebar was vaporized at 2862C. The palladium cube
arrived at a position inside the concrete crater where the temperature was
relatively cool to keep from totally vaporizing under the heat produced by the
silicon plasma.

The reaction started on
the surface of the palladium cube after a long period of surface pitting was
generated by long term low level electric arcing. Mizuno uses electric arcing
to prepare his LENR active surfaces. Over the months, the surface of the
palladium cube reached a critical level of LENR surface preparation to carry a
LENR reaction to a point were a positive feedback took hold producing a plasma
where the reaction became self sustaining and than gainful.

The plasma carried by
the palladium cube eventually burned through the lab table(Melamine?) and hit the floor. The reaction they transferred to the
silicon in the concrete where it formed nano-particles when the silicon plasma
cooled. These nano-particles carried the LENR reaction. The hydrogen loaded in
the palladium was long gone after the palladium melted and partially vaporized
and could not have been the energy source for the reaction during the final
high temperature phase of the meltdown event when the concrete began to burn
and vaporize...

In an other thread Dean Sinclair has said something related to the legendary events::

There
are things that are commonly accepted without anyone being able to explain why
they work... In so far as I know, the chemical reaction which was used to
produce Teflon, wasn't supposed to work, but it did, and, as far as I know,
still is not understood to this day.

I have a long professional love story with Teflon, it was discovered-invented by Roy Plunkett from Du Pont when I was six month old, but it was already present in many forms in the chemical industry when I started working in 1959. It is manufactured on a large scale- see please:
